Will “Family Guy” Bring Back Brian for the Holidays?

It’s no secret that even stalwart fans of “Family Guy” are upset over the departure of Brian the dog, but all might not be lost after all.

According to a report, the December 15th episode of the popular animated series will likely put things right in the universe once again.

The summary for the show states, “Stewie devises a master plan to get the one and only thing he wants for Christmas.” It stands to reason that there may be some time travel and dog-saving coming soon.

Executive producer Steve Callaghan previously told press, “We thought it could be a fun way to shake things up. As soon as this idea came up, we started talking about what the next couple episodes could be and we got very excited about the way this change will affect the family dynamics and the characters.”
